What clauses did you actually read in your internship agreement before signing?
Been going through a bunch of Indian internship agreements lately. Most people I talk to signed within 24 hours of receiving it without reading fully.
Here's what's commonly buried in them:
IP clauses that assign ownership of anything you build to the company — including projects built on your own laptop outside work hours
Indefinite NDAs that don't specify what's actually confidential
Zero termination protection for the intern but 30 day notice required if intern wants to leave
Stipend release conditions tied to vague "performance" criteria
Did you read yours before signing? Did anything surprise you after? Asking because I keep seeing people get blindsided by these.
